general problems of the 2007 Saturn VUE

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Vue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle had to be jumpstarted. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who was unable to diagnose the failure and recommended that the vehicle be taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 66,000.

I was driving and pulled up to get some gas and put my car in park it just stop and turned off and I haven’t been able to get it back on. Went and saw a mechanic and he said it was the timing chain on the car it only had 97,000 miles on it and it would shake while I’m in ideal.

I was driving on the highway, on the way to the beach with my family and our pup! we heard a pop and thought maybe it was the tire but the engine began smoking. I pulled the vehicle over as safely as possible. I popped the hood and there was a fire. Everyone evacuated the vehicle as quickly and safely as possible. I was the last to get out of the vehicle. Within minutes the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. We stood there and watched the only vehicle we have completely burn up. I cried and I watched my kids cry. What was supposed to be a beach day for us to distress and relax turned into us almost losing our lives on the highway. We are thankful for the state trooper, the fire department, and the paramedics who all arrived on scene and kept my family safe. Im thankful our lives weren’t lost. However we still faced a life or death situation today.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Vue. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle for a state inspection, the contact was told that the front engine cradle mounts were severely corroded. The contact was also informed that the corrosion was so severe that the part could not be replaced. The dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 204,495.

I'm getting codes p0171 and p2138, air bag not working code on. .

While merging onto a highway I lost all power. No engine, lights, etc. Almost got run over. Opened hood and replaced the 30 amp ignition fuse and car started. Took to gm dealer and they could not find a problem and original fuse was not blown either. Also hard to turn the ignition key at times. Is this a recall? if not it should be as this was a serious mishap where we could havebeen killed! the car has 54k miles and this was on 12-21-2015 and I took it to the dealer on 12-22-2015.

Engine makes a lot of noise when starting up and while driving,also the gas gage don't register.

My ignition cylinder needs replaced. My keys are coming out of the ignition with the car still on, does not matter whether in park or not, my key will slide out. So now I have to get this fixed but while I wait to have it fixed, I have to always make sure my car is in park or an accident could happen.

While pulling out of a parking space, the timing chain tension slipped and broke. This caused broken rocker arms and internal engine damage. The result is to replace the entire engine! at a cost of $5,000 this leaves me in a dilemma, should I junk the car (which I bought 1 1/2 years ago for $7,500) and put the $5,000 toward a new used car. I noticed there was a recall for this exact failure for Saturn Vue, but not for my model year.

The ignition will lock up and you have to move the steering wheel back and forth while you are turning the key trying to get to start. When driving down the road (usually in 4th gear) the gas peddle will stop working, you can put it all the way to the floor and get nothing. I usually can push the clutch in and make it work again. The passenger airbag will come on when no one is sitting in the seat.

The air bag light comes and goes . Then when driving down the freeway the car just up and died. Had to restart it. I have also had it not pick up speed when I push the peddle . After rams drop then I can pick up speed this is something I have had going on for a while. No one can find out why.

Key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the off position and while driving the car. When I was driving the key fell from the ignition and the car was still running. . . I was able to put the key back in the ignition. This has happened on several occasions and I can pull the key from the ignition while the car is running.

Engine died at 89,000 miles rocker arm assembly fell apart both of them valve was bent, timing chain came loose just went to start vehicle and it wouldn't start towed in to a dealership to have it checked and found it to be engine I tried to go through gm to help with this it was out of warranty a little over a year nothing else has went wrong with the vehicle ever and I have had oil changes no reason for it to fall apart and 4800 dollars later I feel it was a defect in the engine itself I have read other defects on this 2. 2 litre engine of coarse no help from manufacturer even though its a 2007 car the engine is made separate from when a car is made I have not heard of too many vehicles with a dead engine this early. . .

I bought this car in July 22, 2012 in city kia in orlando( used car) with 37,299 miles on this day. 2007 Saturn Vue. In March 2013 I took a ride from kissimmee to miami and when I came back home and got off the turnpike I heard a big sound under my car and it stared to slow down until it stopped completely in the middle of the street, I had it towed to a repair shop and they said it was the transmission,they fixed for $1,926. I also has some electrical problems, once in a while the radio goes randomly changing channels by itself and when I open or close the windows it sounds like it looses electricity, and also a leak from the air conditioner compressor is leaking a green fluid, also the airbag goes on sometimes but eventually turns off.

Inserted the key into the ignition switch but I was unable to turn the ignition to start the vehicle. I took the vehicle to a mechanic who said that the key needed to be replaced and the key was replaced, I replaced the key but the defect reoccurred. It happens on a daily basis, whenever I go to try and start the car. The vehicle was repaired on two occasions but did not rectify the issue. The mechanic said something was wrong with the way the ignition switch was placed in the car.

My Vue has mysteriously started emitting a strong scent of fuel before I could get it into a day alert to diagnose and service it I was on the road when a fire started in the rear of my vehicle filling it with smoke. I pulled over and my boyfriend extinguished the flames but my brake light and dash light and instrumentation had been damage from electrical harnesses fryng . Also needed to replace fuel pump return system and float as they were the initial cracked cause. Very scary thank god and jesus my baby girls weren't in the car or that worse had happened.

Ignition key fell out of ignition while vehicle was in motion. It has happened several times since over the years. It can easily be removed from the ignition even when in the park position. Key can come out of ignition no matter if the key is new, a copy, or showing any wear. I have never kept anything other than one house key and the manufacturer's fab attached since I first took ownership of this vehicle.
